A US citizen said she was illegally held by ICE. Surveillance video, the DHS and a million-dollar lawsuit say otherwise
DHS says surveillance footage and phone data show Naqvi left airport screening within an hour, while the sheriff says her account led to a $1 million defamation suit.
- Dodge County Sheriff Dale Schmidt is suing Sundas Naqvi and Cook County Commissioner Kevin Morrison for defamation, alleging they spread false claims about her detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security.
- Following her trip to Turkey, Naqvi alleged she was detained by ICE for 43 hours, claiming she was held incommunicado and transported over 150 miles to a Wisconsin detention facility.
- Surveillance footage from O'Hare shows Naqvi entering secondary inspection at 10:46 a.m. and leaving at 11:42 a.m., contradicting her account; DHS and local authorities suggest location images were manipulated.
- Sheriff Schmidt characterized the incident as a 'romantic scam' involving Naqvi's then-boyfriend, who allegedly spent $25,000 on her and testified he drove her to a hotel rather than the jail.
- Records show Naqvi has a history of filing false police reports, including a 2019 accusation of sexual misconduct against a professor that was dismissed following credibility investigations.
